Is 恵彩瑠 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 恵彩瑠 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

Each character in 恵彩瑠 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Ethyl”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (エサル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
